Clear bra?

Do you have one for your TSX? I'm considering it....

Worth it?

Where did you get it, and much was it?

Did you install it yourself? If not, where did you go and how much did they charge?

How much does yours cover? (Front bumper, front bumper + side view mirrors, rear bumper....?)

Thanks in advance

(Hoping mods don't lock this! lol)

I hate clear bras.

I'd rather just repaint or replace the bumper if it were to ever get bad enough to warrant it. My car's got almost 14K miles now and there's still barely any marks.

I was on the fence with this car, I'd seen the newer ones that allow the paint to age underneath which the 1st or 2nd generations did not do.

With the shape of the bumper on this car, I agree with Derwood in that a new bumper cover would recitfy any major finish issues if need be.

I've had clear bras on my last 3 cars and I love them. They protect the finish from everything but the largest of rocks. They also protect the paint from salt spray here as well in the winter time. I hate it when a truck is spraying rock salt on the road and I either have to pass it or follow it (or other cars which are kicking it up from the road). On the multi-lane freeways the trucks drive on one side and spray across all lanes of traffic. As soon as I get the car, it goes on. The first 2 cars I put it on myself. The tsx I had done at a shop that the dealers around here use.

On my TSX I have it on the hood, bumper, fenders, A-pillars, mirrors, front roof, and headlights. My other car has it on all those plus the lower rockers, lower half of the doors, lower part of the rear bumper behind the rear wheel, splash guards, and rear bumper by the trunk lid.
